    I appreciate it! I’ve been slacking posting on here. Just did a major update and photo dump

    Also changed the front trackbar mount. The bkfabworks mount angled the trackbar too far back and it would contact the truss on the front axle. I ended up cutting the mount off with a cutting torch. Ordered a ruffstuff outside the frame track bar mount. Had to cut the top off of that mount to get it to sit where I needed it to. I made a custom plate to weld the new mount to. I welded the new mount to the frame and made a filler piece to connect it to the old mount that was welded to the stiffeners. It clearances the axle all the way to full bump. And speaking of full bump. I’m going to be modifying all my bump stops to make sure I’m keeping tires out of the fenders and not cutting expensive tires on sheet metal

    I also changed the rear lower shock mounts because I wanted to use the oem upper mount to help combat some body roll. Had my son helping with these

    After I got the tcase rebuilt I decided to modify my trailer and build some drive over fenders

    More pics of the tcase installed

    I had to rebuild the tcase because I was having issues with it engaging in 4lo. From what I could tell it was caused by the different gear cut split and the wrong input snout. I got it all changed over and as far as the minimal testing I’ve done it works

    Just wanted to update the thread. These do work on the front of an mj. I’ve had them for a bit now but I need to extend them more.

    Yessir! It is a nice internal upgrade for sure. Will be able to hold up to jeep abuse

    Got the wide chain in the tcase

    So the last time i went wheeling I started having issues with my tcase. the rear case of the doubler setup was not shifting properly. I lost 4lo and the transfer case wouldnt hold 4hi or 2hi and would pop out of the range slection and sit between gears. I pulled the case from the jeep and it was still behaving the same way. So I started to pull the case apart. What I found was the shift selector wasnt seated all the way like it needed to be. Now that I had that figured out it is time to replace the internals to beef them up. I ordered a 6 pinion planetary gear, the 1-1/4" wide chain upgrade and physically bigger gears to work in the tcase. here's some comparison pics stock chain vs wide chain new bigger gear set (stock on the bottom, newer ones on the top) I believe the new components came from a chevy or dodge 231 case so the new internals should be able to handle the doubler and the power output from the tired 4.0 thats in the mj currently. Definitely some worth while strength upgrades. And if I plan to do an engine swap the tcase should hold up.

    Glad my older thread was able to help. You can buy a new tank for an mj 86-87 i believe that does not have the splash pan in the tank. I havent experienced anything bad about not having a splash pan in the truck offroad but i almost always have it over 1/2 tank. I plan to build so custom baffles in the tank evventually

    huh okay okay good to know. I wanted to retain the factory dash when I planned my LS swap. I thought about putting a digital dash kit in place of the factory gauges, but the fuel gauge would have to be wired in. The standalone harness kit I want to use comes with a digital dash and gps speedo, I should contact them to see if I can still wire in factory gauges and opt out of the digital dash
  13. Swampy
    Did you have to use the Dakota digital stuff because you didnt use a stand alone wiring harness? I also need to re-read the part where you kept the A/C controls
  14. Swampy
    Offroad I don't really have complaints but like you its the around town that i have complaints on
  15. Swampy
    The more I think about it the more it makes sense especially for what my requirements are
